Now students of Class VIII th are in depression... the level of stress has come down

The educationists associated with HRD ministry and CBSE had drafted new grading system and RTE Act to reduce stress and depression in students of class X th.
OK, we thank all of them.

But, the way by which these are being implemented is looking more interesting.

59655 students were declared 'Failed' out of total 88887 appeared in Compartmental exams in class VIII th in the session 2009-10 by Directorate of Education, Delhi. This data is collected by us through an RTI application which contains results of 882 schools only.
Many students and their parents staged dharna -pradarshan against the results in many parts of the capital.
The reason was a circular showing limitation of 'No detention policy' only up to class VII th.

The Right to Education Act has been implemented from 01/04/2010.

All failed students of Class VIII th appeared for compartmental exams in April 2010 after RTE Act enactment.

Thousands of students were declared 'failed' again on 1 st of May 2010 and detained in the same class between 01/04/2010 to 07/05/2010.
Now the same type of re-compartmental exams will be taken again and again in June-July 2010.
But, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE for the VIOLATION of Section 16 of RTE ACT which clearly states that...

"No child admitted in a school shall be held back in any class or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education"

What punitive action would be taken against those officers who didn't take pain to read hardly 13 pages of the RTE Act and have detained students of class VIII th upto now?

These students have right to sit in class IX th and appear in back papers of class VIII th.

Who will pay for the loss of study periods of more than three months up to July 2010?
We have asked the data of failed students from DoE by an RTI application filed on 5 th of May 2010.
Do these officers have courage to face the pain if their own sons or daughters were declared failed by any school?

This country seeks a sympathetic attitude towards poor people and students but it is completely lacking in these AFFLUENT WEALTHY officers and all policy makers.

Please, Re-examine the examination system which fails 59655 students out of 88887 appeared.

This process of evaluation may not be called as 'examination' which fails 99% students.
This is ex-imagination!!!!!

We urge immediate interfere from all concerned .

We have urged Hon'ble Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely to see the matter that.....

"the level of depression and stress to pass an examination is coming down from class X th to class VIII th and this is the latest development in success story of implementation of "No Detention Policy."

Friends, the "level of stress" in board examinations is really coming down in this fantastic way.............
Now it is from X th board to VIII th board...

Congratulations....
Jai ho...
